Paintball video games !!

Because no paintball game has done it completely right...there are always MAJOR flaws. Nowhere near realistic.

Yea like he said all the paintball video games are unrealistic , the games are nothing like real paintball. Going and playing is the best your going to get , because i dont think there will be a goood paintball game out for awhile.

I looked for a PB game recently and was surprised that no new games have been made. To understand why, you need to follow the money. Basically, there are not enough games sales to merit the investment; if the money were there, the games would be made.

I donlt know the reason for lack of sales. Some posibilities are:
1) Most paintballers are too active to play games that much (they prefer 3D games through their goggles)
2) Too busy doing other things to play video games (priority problem)
3) Most would rather play other type of video games (war, etc...)
4) As was mentioned above in the forum, no really good PB games have been made yet

I wanted a PC PB game so a month ago I bought an old game (Paintball Extreme) on amazon for about $5, but have only played it twice since then. I'd like to think I was in category 1 (too active), but sadly it's more like cat 2.

If only Activision could get with PSP to make a really sick paintball game. It would be advertised well enough that they could probably make some pretty good money. Not as much as COD but you can't really expect that until they have made a few really good paintball games to grab the attention of the general public.

Another flaw of paintball games is that they tend to be too easy, which would undoubtedly classify as unrealistic. I've only really played NPPL 09, but I can tell you that it's very easy to unlock the best gear early, and just lay down the paint the entire game, never stop shooting and easily beat your opponent.

The game needs balance, too. For example, there should be a downside to using a 68 ci tank over a 48 ci tank. Your player should run slower or have decreased maneuverability, but if my memory serves me correctly, that's not the case. There's also a lot of pointless gear options on there too. Who would bother using a 68/45 when you can shoot all the paint you can possibly carry and then some with a 48/45?
